TCM/Traditional Chinese Medicine approach on LUPUS In traditional Chinese Medicine/TCM, LUPUS is a combinatory condition of deficiencies and excesses based on an imbalance and disharmony of Yin/Yang in the body. It often related to a combination of deficiencies in the Zang organs such as Lungs, Kidneys, and Spleen as well as excesses of pathogenic factors such as Dampness, Heat, Dryness, Wind, Cold, etc. TCM treatment approaches LUPUS through a holistic perspective, aiming to restore balance and support the body’s natural healing mechanism by tailored methods for each individual. Treatments are focused on tonifying the deficiencies and purging the excess of pathogenic factors by identifying patterns of disharmony and imbalances of energy/Qi, blood, and organ functions. 1.

Microneedling also known as a collagen induction therapy, is a cosmetic procedure that involves creating tiny punctures led to micro-injuries in the skin with the a device called a dermaroller or a dermapen.
These micro-injuries stimulate the production of collagen and elastin as two essential proteins for the healthy and youthful-looking skin. Promoted production of collagen helps to keep the skin firmer and more elastic, which improve the appearance of fine lines, winkles, acne/surgical scars, sun-spots, stretch marks, shagging skins, and even enlarged pores. Dr. Suozzi, a dermatologist, on the yale medicine acalimed that microneedling is beneficial for skin remodeling.
When microneedling is administered in the acupuncture clinic, the good thing is tailored and individualized treatments depending on each one's underlying conditions associated with skin manifestations. For example, one microneedling treatment doesnt have to target the entire face at a time rather by considering to adjust its degree of procedure, frequency, or areal treatment depending on each patient's tolerance level, skin conditions, and underlying problems. That is, microneedling combined with the acupuncture treatment helps but to enhance overall well-being not to simply expect exteriorly improved texture and tone of the skin. Overall, microneedling combined with acupuncture is a holistic treatment for enhancing the health and appearance, wellness in & out.
In general, microneedling is a safe and effective procedure when it is done by a trained professional in use of sterilized equipment and post-care guidance. However, as with any cosmetic procedure, there is always a risk of side effects, usually normal reactions in the healing process, such as redness and swelling, dryness and flakiness, brusing, infeciton, pigment changes, or allergic reactions.
Therefore, it is important to work with a licensed acupuncturist with experiences in microneedling to ensure the treament done safely and effectively. Currently in New York State, only licensed acupuncturists and medical doctors can perform microneedling as it falls under the scope of acupuncture.
